Bradford Woman's Fight for 'Right to Die'

Defiant: Bradford's Debbie Purdy wants a change in the law


After a controversial TV documentary shown last night, pro-choice and pro-life groups are once again warring about the right to choose to die.

Pro-life supporters believe assisted suicide should not be allowed, but campaigners including Bradford's Debbie Purdy think that the public mood is changing. They point out that doctors can keep people alive for longer, and the law should keep up.

Debbie has Multiple Sclerosis, a degenerative disease that will eventually mean she may not be able to communicate.

She told BCB that the law should be changed, and that she wants the right to make the necessary preparations to end her own life
